Wearing a bright, multicolored onesie, fourteen-year-old Gabz from London entered the Britain’s Got Talent stage exuding young confidence. After just two years of learning the piano, she swiftly disclosed that she would be performing an original song called “The One.” Gabz demonstrated her ability to create gripping narratives from outside inspiration rather than merely personal experience by lightening the atmosphere when asked about the song’s unexpectedly serious subject—losing the love of your life—and acknowledging that it was inspired by watching movies. The judges were immediately captivated by her audacious decision to perform original music and her dynamic stage presence.
Gabz’s performance had a lovely fusion of rhythm and melody. Her flexibility as a performer and songwriter was demonstrated when she smoothly switched from singing her catchy track while playing the piano to a rap verse. The chorus was immediately memorable and captivating, especially the lyric about tossing “lighters in the air if you’ve ever felt scared ’cause you’ve lost the one.” For a self-taught 14-year-old, the song’s polished pop hit-like structure and catchy melody were an incredible accomplishment. The crowd reacted right away, clapping and moving in time with the music.
It was evident that the assessors were impressed by her music’s potential. Amanda Holden applauded the song’s immensely catchy chorus, while Alesha Dixon praised the rapping and piano mix, describing the performance as “cool and different.” Even though she wasn’t the greatest pianist, Simon Cowell, the harshest reviewer, said that her song had a “great chorus” and could “be something there” if “produced properly.” He predicted that the song would become ingrained in their minds and highlighted how likeable she was. Based to her distinctive songwriting ability, Gabz received four unequivocal “Yes” votes from the judges, who acknowledged her as a possible future star.
